We Like to Potty!

Calvin finally packed up all his diapers to mail them to Baby Hugo and put on his underpants for the first time on June 6th. 

 It was a little rough on the first day.

We had a few accidents and had to work on the steps involved to getting it right. 

 But within a few days, he was doing great!

 We got brave enough to venture to a local park that has a bathroom near the play area

 and he got to try a urinal for the first time. 

 By Monday, we felt good enough to try a playdate at Chip's house

 2 of 3 boys were in underpants so we were watching them very closely. 

 That evening, Calvin had done so well all day that I felt comfortable enough to take him out to dinner after swim lessons. 

 By the end of one week, Calvin had earned himself a prize. 

He's such a big boy now!

Memorial Day

Sorry for the delay. My phone has been acting up making it impossible to get pictures for the blog. 

We had some great visitors from Pennsylvania on Memorial Day weekend.

 Daddy best friend Uncle Ross visited with Auntie Dierdre and Baby Henry in Lake Geneva. 

 We took Dierdre and Henry to Hosta Fest 

 and then out for ice cream. 

 Henry was very interested in what was being eaten around him. 

 We roasted marshmallows.

 Rather sticky. 

 And took a walk into town. 

 We took them on a boat tour around the lake. 

 The boys were a little more into what was going inside the boat then outside. 

 Henry was again very interested in what his mommy was consuming. 

 Then we took them to the log cabin.

 And for a boat ride. 

It was a great visit! So great to see such great friends and finally get to meet little Henry. 

End of a Great Year

May 23rd was Calvin's last day of school. 

Somethings have changed this year, some things have not. 

 The kids put on a show for us. 

 They walked down the aisle much better then at Christmas. 

 They sat and sang very nice.

 They stood and did the motions with the songs much better. 

 But they were just as excited about getting cookies as ever. 

 Here is Calvin with Mrs. G. 

 And this is him with his other teacher, Mrs. Gehred. 

 We attempted to get some nice pictures of the boys together. 

 But, as I said,

 somethings don't change

 and they were just as wiggly as ever. 

 The huge cookies didn't help. 

It was a nice, fun little program. It was a great year and we are so happy Calvin spent his first year of school at this school.
